THE current fighting in the Gaza Strip needs clarification for people to understand its genesis. I accept that the situation is complex, and that might explain why even the US President-elect, Barack Obama has so far opted to remain silent since the war broke out.

However, I would like to bring out what seems to have been ignored and yet it is important for a balanced analysis of the conflict.

Whereas on the surface it is the terrorist group, Hamas, fighting the only Jewish nation, Israel, it is in fact a continuation of the war that Arabs have waged against the Jews since Israel was created in 1948.

The geographic area called “Palestine” was governed by the British after it took it from the Turks at the end of the First World War.

The League of Nations (precursor to the United Nations), according to the Balfour Declaration of 1917, mandated Britain to create a Jewish state in all of “Palestine” due to historical right.

Tragically, Britain did not fulfill its mandate and instead created a formerly nonexistent Arab-Palestinian state called “Transjordan” (now Jordan) on 77% of the Jewish soil in 1922.

Even when the United Nations decided on the Partition Plan on November, 29 1947, Britain voted against it and all the Arab states boycotted the vote.

Never mind that the Plan that gave the Jews only 23% of its original land was not legally binding since the UN Security Council did not ratify it.

In 1948 Britain abandoned Palestine without fulfilling its primary responsibility. Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948 but was attacked by six Arab states the next day.

Ironically, Jordan was led, armed and trained by Britain. It invaded occupied and annexed Samaria and Judea (now called the “West Bank”) as well as East Jerusalem.

On the other hand, Egypt invaded and occupied Gaza. These are the so-called “occupied territories” after Israel recaptured them in 1967.

Incidentally, for 19 years when Egypt and Jordan were in charge of those territories, nobody cared about creating a Palestinian state.

Instead Jordan destroyed 58 synagogues in East Jerusalem and desecrated 38,000 of the 50,000 ancient and modern Jewish graves in the cemetery on the Mount of Olives. They used the stones for latrines and walkways.

In 1967 when Egypt and Syria announced on national media their intention to attack Israel, Jordan joined and attacked Israel.

However, Israel defeated them all and took back Gaza and the “West Bank”, including capturing the Golan Heights from Syria from where it was shelling Israeli territory for sometime.

Due to international pressure, Israel, under prime minister Ariel Sharon, about two years ago, uprooted Jewish settlements from Gaza, from where Hamas has been firing rockets at Israel.

Last week alone it fired about 500 rockets. To those calling for peace talks, how can you talk peace with a person who does not recognise your existence and seeks to destroy you?

The goal of Arabs is simple: to wipe out the state of Israel from the map and create the twenty-second Arab state. If anyone doubts me, just listen to what Yasser Arafat, the late leader of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, told a reporter, Arianna Palazzi in 1970:

“The question of borders doesn’t interest us…From the Arab standpoint, we mustn’t talk about borders. Palestine is nothing but a drop in an enormous ocean.

Our nation is the Arabic nation that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea and beyond it….The PLO is fighting Israel in the name of Pan-Arabism. What you call ‘Jordan’ is nothing more than Palestine.” Need I say more?

This contagious fake language that got even onto that Ex President Carter.

HYPOCRISY

Why is ethnic cleansing of Jews from areas in Israel (”Palestine”) called a “step towards peace” and Avigdor Lieberman’s platform is called “ethnic cleansing”?

And if “resettling” by Lieberman is described so dramatically as “neo fascism” (for no reason) what do you call (Palestine – Hamas, Hezbollah, Ahmadinejad, etc.) Islamofascism’s blatant call to kill all Jews – plain and simple?

LUDICROUS

Have you ever described any security checkpoint (whether in the airport or anywhere else) as an “apartheid” and “oppression”?

COUNTER PRODUCTIVE

The hype rhetoric ‘Islamic behavior’ not only in their own media where they incite their youths towards Jihad with this “victimhood” & demonization of Israelis mentality, but on international platforms as well, whether on international media or in the UN – besides destroying their own society they fail to understand how they alienate Israelis that would sacrifice even more for any chance of peace.

PS

The Anti Jewish racist violence by Arabs in the holy-land started in the 1920’s not in the 1967 where the so called “occupation” excuse was invented.

Why the missing piece in Hamas’ main ideology, which is (openly declared) pure GENOCIDE upon Israelis?

There could have been more elaboration on 1) Islamic-apartheid, on anti non-Muslims (like Christians as Jews are already cleansed out from most Arab countries) amongst Arab ‘Palestinians’ or the oppressed Copts in Egypt, Assyrians in Iraq, or racist Arabism’s oppression on Kurds in Iran, Syria and in Iraq, etc..

Or elaboration on the nature ‘totalitarianism’ within radical Islam (Wahabbism, Hamas, or Hezbollah and Jihadists). 2) The hate education on Muslims, especially on Jews – dehumanization.

Most of the program though was not too bad, however, it ends with disappointing reaffirmation of the ugly Arab Muslim bigoted excuse, the old racist cliche of “blaming Israel”, it finishes off with an extreme bias banging note of “human rights violation by Israelis upon Arab Palestinians”, she could at least categorize it under the conflict (BTW, What about the war crimes by Palestinian leaders in W. bank and in Gaza or by Hezbollah in Lebanon for using kids in the theater of war causing their deaths?), because that’s what it is, not just a pure aggression as she makes it sound, as the undisputable fact (which even biased Jimmy Carter admitted on CNN) is that Arabs inside Israel enjoy not only equal human rights in the only democracy in the region but often even with preferred treatment by Israeliauthorities, especially regarding land disputes.

Hamas exploits U.S. media to cover war crimes against Israeli … – While Hamas exploits its own civilians as human shields as it … Hamas exploits U.S. media to cover war crimes against Israeli & Palestinian civilians …

Hamas to blame for Palestinian civilian casualties | Midwest Voices – 30 Dec 2008 … Human Rights Watch says people who attack civilian populations, as Hamas has done with … or arrest any of their leaders for war crimes.

Per Israel News’ Gaza reporter Ron Ben-Yishai: “The (Gaza) family suddenly notices the cameras, and immediately, the expression on their faces changes. ‘We have no food,’ they say in Arabic, as one of the youngsters suggests we interview him in English about their plight.

“Givati (Brigade troops, Israel’s defense force) are extremely concerned about being portrayed as abusing innocent civilians. Eilon Perry, Givati’s operations officer, points to a stack of canned goods, water bottles and other provisions.

“’We provided some of that and they cook and eat quite well,’ he said. The Palestinians seem to understand him and one of them smiles. It’s a war – they had to try.”

There you have the instinctive response. Cameras show up before a Gaza Muslim family with food. Immediately they lie about not having food.

Cameras are the stimulus. Lying is the response.

It is the same with such Muslim websites as Citizens for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). It is laden with lies throughout.

Recently CAIR instructed Muslims how to appeal for Middle East peace. Not once did CAIR spell out the Muslim atrocities worldwide, particularizing those against Israel since Israel’s inception on May 14, 1948.

At the second Palestinian violent Intifada, they came up with a new (tool in) Genocide: Suicide Bombing [13].

An emphasis in radicals’ work is indoctrinating Palestinian Children to Genocidal Hate, Imams are extremely influential in successfully emphasizing the goals of jihad and martyrdom [14]

Especially the Islamic party: Hamas promotes Islamic supremacy over the world, “The Hamas Ideology of Hatred and Genocide: Islamic supremacy over the world, destroying Israel and Jews [15], vows to ‘drink’ Jewish blood, group would drink the blood of Jews [16], Hamas Mickey-Mouse-like character to incite for genocide [17], Genocide of Jews remains Hamas goal [18] and declare: “The Final Goal of the Resistance is to Wipe This Entity Off the Face of the Earth” “We are making the preparations for a confrontation. This is not because we need to be prepared for an Israeli act of aggression – after all, aggression is intrinsic to this entity – but because the final goal of the resistance is to wipe this entity off the face of the Earth. This goal necessitates the development of the capabilities of the resistance, until this entity is wiped out.”[19]

Shoebat (former Palestinian terrorist) notes that; “The Arab war against Israel is a genocide jihad,” [20], It is part of an all out ‘Islamic Genocide Plan’ [21]

Hezbollah

Hezbollah calling on Muslims to kill all Jewish Israelis with firearms, knives and poison [24]

The widening arena of Hezbollah’s attacks stemmed from Nasrallah’s perception that Jews anywhere are legitimate targets. In fact, Nasarallah has said: If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide. (Daily Star, Oct. 23, 2002) [25].

Ahmadinejad

Islamic Republic of Iran’s President Mahmud Ahmadinejad’s call for Israel to be “wiped off the map” has triggered a sharp international response and widespread condemnation [27][28] (It was not mistranslated [29]). He’faced genocide case’, in 14 Dec 2006 was expected to be the target of a lawsuit which accuses him of inciting genocide against Israel. [30]

The writer of “Israel’s form of execution” shows a total lack of understanding of the situation in Gaza. Israel only retaliates after it has been attacked by terrorists, and the so-called “targeted assasinations” of Hamas leaders are a pre-emptive attack on the people who plan and coordinate the attacks.

Defending Israel’s action against bloodthirsty Islamic “Palestinians” who use their own kids as human shields

Boston Jewish leaders defend Gaza strike
Boston Globe, United States
Hamas’s disregard for Israeli life is matched by its disregard for the lives of Palestinians living in Gaza. Using innocent Palestinians as human shields, Hamas purposely fires its missiles from homes, schools and community centers, confident in the knowledge that when Israel finally acts to stop the killing of its own civilians, Palestinians will also inevitably be harmed. The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields is not merely unspeakably cruel. It is also a fundamental violation of Palestinian human rights by the Hamas leadership.

Israel cares deeply about protecting the lives of civilians, both in Israel and in the Gaza Strip. Its efforts this weekend to stop the Hamas attacks represent classic self-defense, undertaken reluctantly by an Israeli nation that longs for peace.

Israel retaliation in Gaza, Hamas hit hard
Canada Free Press, Canada – 3 hours ago
Any suspected hideouts of Hamas leadership must be taken out. Israel had opportunities in earlier decades to do this and refused because of the human shieldhttp://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/7171

It’s not only unfair but it’s even dangerous to swallow their propaganda and “agree” with their: “we are the victims” culture.

It’s all routine to see each time the Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad “succeeding” in it’s devious tactics to appear as “victims”, be it by inflicting self misery on turning all aid and resources towards destructive hateful fascistic Jihad, or via using civilians as shields for terrorists, or any other cruel tricks they come up with to show the world how “bad” the Israelis are to them, because you know ‘all the troubles this self inflicted group of the Arab “Palestinians” always have is the “Zionists” fault of course.’

We should oppose any of their devilish propaganda that takes their civilians’ lives along with the ‘Oh, look how bad Israel is’, message, a “people” that is able to kill it’s own children (Hamas, Hezbollah and their massive followers) directly or indirectly only to damn (the good guy, anti terrorists defender) Israel’s image, never deserve any sympathy.

I know they prey, especially on Jews’ ultra conscience, but it’s a dangerous game, once we allow to have compassion on those that are about nothing but compassion and minimal values of humanity, we are replacing this love where it rather should go, to the real innocent people anywhere else outside the guilty “Palestinian” group, that are not pushing their leaders towards genocide ideology.

Once we allow our selves to cave in to their tactics and finally sing that “Palestinians are victims” dreadful song, the danger is enormous, if we take them as “victims”, this is exactly Islamic terrorists’ power all over the world, their slogan: ‘We are victims, so we can do what ever we want to”.

Well of course the Qassam attack on Israeli schoolchildren that caused the Israeli action was another well planned trick to “justify” the latest Islamic bombing on innocent Israelis.

It’s your life and mine or theirs, as simple as that, in the fascism of anti non-Muslims, or anti all that are not the right kind of Muslim in their evil eyes.

Kudos to [Jan. 2008] Obama, [though being such a liberal] who understood that, in writing to the [international Arab oil lobby hijacked] UN that he understands Israel’s being forced by Palestinian terrorists to close cigarettes and luxury items (starving? yea right! another Pallywood lie) channels to Gaza.

The letter from the Senator to the Ambassador speaks for itself:Dear Ambassador Khalilzad,

I understand that today the UN Security Council met regarding the situation in Gaza, and that a resolution or statement could be forthcoming from the Council in short order.

I urge you to ensure that the Security Council issue no statement and pass no resolution on this matter that does not fully condenm the rocket assault Hamas has been conducting on civilians in southern Israel…

All of us are concerned about the impact of closed border crossings on Palestinian families. However, we have to understand why Israel is forced to do this… Israel has the right to respond while seeking to minimize any impact on civilians.

The Security Council should clearly and unequivocally condemn the rocket attacks… If it cannot bring itself to make these common sense points, I urge you to ensure that it does not speak at all.
